The boxing gloves are valuable on their own, but are more useful in a pair.

As such, given the odd circumstances of me having a glove in the first place, I would prefer to give the glove I have to Martinluther and complete the set.

Or, I would give the glove to its rightful owner.

Please decide which I should do.

I do not think it is strictly necessary to state aloud what the gloves do in tandem, or alone.

You could both give your glove to Verarde, cause he should have had yours.

well, as it was host's mistake, I think the glove should go to Verarde.

And then, we may convince him to give it to MartinLuther

or what Choxorn said

The item is valuable enough that it would be worth denying use of to the entire town in trade for outing one scumbag.

As such, I am advocating that the two gloves be put together as a single move, rather than use a middleman.

But, this is your choice to make.

That sounds...powerful.

Martin has gone AWOL in many of his games, so it would probably make sense to kill him then give the glove to Pizza. On that note, Vote: MartinLuther and Berries: askthepizzaguy as if he isn't town and the gloves are THAT powerful, we're pretty much toast anyway, I guess.

I know what the gloves do. It's useless to separate them.

I will be happy if them both went to one person, be it Verarde or MartinLuther

On re-read, this is correct. I had actually skimmed the PM and thought it said they did something on their own. That's only because the "you have one boxing glove" is followed immediately with what 2 boxing gloves do in the PM I received.

I can fill in if you still need someone Kenn.

Based on the fact that I am more active than MartinLuther, and that second glove is rightfully mine, I humbly request that the gloves be given to me.

why isnt anyone voting?

Okay.

Would you agree that any town investigator scan you upon receiving the item?

To be sure it's in good hands. Or rather, on them?

Was gone, now I'm back. vote: MartinLuther for lack of a better lead.

Vote: MartinLuther unless he shows up again.

Let's lynch azzaman333, because you can't pass a test by not taking it. Yesterday, I asked him what ability or benefit the opera ticket gave him. He said he didn't want to reveal what it did for now, which might have been fine if I myself hadn't started with an identical opera ticket or if I didn't know what it did. His ticket allows him, after Day 3 when the opera arrives, to take control of Smurfette.

You might think at this point, that there's nothing wrong with not wanting to reveal to any and every random person that asks that you have the ability to take control of Smurfette. But there is, because there are three other types of tickets in the game, and if any of them are used the same night as his is, the other person will take precedent and gain control of Smurfette. And since I was given that information with my ticket, I sincerely doubt azzaman didn’t know this either. Why be so secretive on one of the weakest items? The only reason if would be useful then, is for it to be used further in to the game when the other tickets are probably gone. I assume the Mafia has some reason/desire to control Smurfette just like the townies do; and if it factors into the Mafia end-game I think that ticket would be a great item for the Mafia to have in the final days, and that plan works best without the Town knowing its function. Unfortunately, with this game's setup lynching azzaman probably won't get rid of the ticket since he can simply give it to one of his teammates (not sure if that has to be public or not?). Nevertheless, I think the only reason you'd want to have the ticket is for decidedly un-Townie reasons so azzaman should be the lynch and that could be at least one down.

At any rate, as bad as bangwagons usually are, with this setup I’m not sure were doing ourselves any favors by slightly damaging different people each day; it’s not like we can win by letting the Mafia be the only ones killing.

Why would he have any reason to reveal that to you? You don't think a scumbag would want to kill someone who could potentially steal Smurfette away from them?

Unvote, Vote: Turquoiside

Unvote, Vote: Turquoiside And why did you start the game with such a ticket, exactly?
